Gourmet Hunter: Join the Chat Group.

Qin Zhou looked up and selected a crocodile-mouthed pterosaur. He fired a long-range needle, striking its pressure point, and the pterosaur instantly froze and fell to the ground.

Qin Zhou tied the prey to the Baron saber-toothed tiger and returned to the camp.

Komatsu and Toriko were grilling snakes and frogs.

"Whoa! This... is the Baron Sword, the Saber-toothed Tiger!" Xiaosong heard heavy footsteps behind him, turned around and stared at the tiger, his face instantly turning pale.

"Hey, don't be afraid, this little kitten is very well-behaved." Qin Zhou patted the back of the Baron saber-toothed tiger, which immediately lay down obediently.

"Has it been tamed?" Toriko asked with interest.

The Baron saber-toothed tiger is a wild beast, and taming it is no easy task.

"It's not too much trouble. Toriko, you can scare it with the Gourmet Cell Demon's intimidation, or you can tame it physically," Qin Zhou said casually.

With a capture level of 3, it's not even as good as a wild beast cub in the Gourmet World, compared to creatures that are often level 100 or higher.

"Really won't eat people?" Xiao Song swallowed hard. He felt like he wasn't even enough to fill the gap between the teeth of the Baron saber-toothed tiger, and even a hunting rifle couldn't protect him.

Baron the saber-toothed tiger opened its eyes and glanced at Xiaosong. It was too small and had little energy, far less than Qin Zhou and Toriko. It had no desire to eat him.

Qin Zhou's actual weight is not as light as it appears. Food can store a lot of energy, but it will not affect his body shape.

Toriko weighs 230kg, which means he has a lot of stored energy.

Komatsu weighed only 51kg, which wasn't even enough energy for the Baron saber-toothed tiger to chew.

"Xiaosong, I'll leave the cooking to you." Qin Zhou pointed to the crocodile-mouthed pterosaur behind him. With the head chef of this five-star hotel here, there was no need for him and Toriko, laymen, to try their hand at cooking.

"Leave it to me." Komatsu nodded.

The food made by a professional chef is just different; the taste is on a completely different level. I have to say, it tastes much better than what those two make.

Qin Zhou plans to find a good chef later, but he'll pass on Komatsu. Although he has a strong culinary luck, it would be a bit strange for him to be paired with a man, so he won't break up the two best buddies, Toriko and Komatsu.

After a short rest, the group rode the Baron saber-toothed tiger towards the area where the Kayla crocodile was known to roam.

"Hey, Mr. Toriko, what's going on with these beasts? Why are they all running away?" Komatsu was diligently taking notes in his notebook, which was an investigation he was asked to conduct by his superiors.

"It's probably because the place where the Kayla crocodile lives is too dangerous. This Kayla crocodile, which is several hundred years old, should be the highest-grade one captured in the Baron Islands. It is at the top of the food chain. If it doesn't run away, it will become food for the Kayla crocodile."

"This giant crocodile must have a huge appetite. If it keeps eating, the island's wildlife is finite, and it will threaten other creatures," Toriko said.

Near this lake, there is practically no life left, and even the trees are bare.

"Little kitty, you can run now."

Seeing that the Baron saber-toothed tiger's four legs were trembling, Qin Zhou knew that it was terrified, so he didn't force it to stay.

Upon hearing Qin Zhou's imperial decree, the saber-toothed tiger immediately took off running and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It had seen the Kayla Crocodile and knew it was a terrifyingly large creature.

"It will threaten me too, won't it?" Komatsu said with a pained expression, terrified.

"Leave it to me. You stand aside and don't get hurt." Toriko was very much looking forward to it. The hundreds-of-years-old Kaira crocodile would definitely taste delicious and mellow.

Suddenly, a huge commotion came from beneath the lake, and a massive figure more than twenty meters long burst out of the water, with most of its body crashing heavily onto the ground on the shore.

"Ahhh, this is a swamp snake! Mr. Toriko, Mr. Qin Zhou!" Komatsu was so frightened that he made a meme-worthy face. With a capture level of 5, this was no longer something an ordinary hunter could handle.

"It's been killed. The murderer is this big guy." Qin Zhou glanced at the huge bite mark on the swamp snake's body, and a large creature from the lake came ashore.

The giant crocodile is 18 meters long, over 4 meters tall, and weighs 14 tons. Its entire body is covered with a layer of hard scales, like wearing armor, and you can see a large number of leeches moving around in its mouth.

The Kayla Crocodile, over 300 years old, capture level 8, can easily destroy a war machine.

When Xiaosong saw the giant crocodile Kayla, he was so frightened that he dared not move. Qin Zhou carried Xiaosong's bag and led him to a place where he would not get in the way of the fight.

Toriko can handle this battle on his own; he doesn't need Toriko's help.

"Phew... I've finally seen it, the Kayla Crocodile."

Toriko stared intently at his opponent, a red phantom appearing behind him, radiating an even stronger intimidation than the giant crocodile Kaera. He began to rub his hands together, producing the sound of metal knives and forks clashing.

Chapter 12 Let's Eat!

Frightened by Toriko's intimidation, the giant crocodile Kaera seemed to be enraged, slamming its powerful tail heavily onto the ground, causing cracks to appear.

The massive body of the giant crocodile was incredibly agile. It leaped into the air and pounced on Toriko, its gaping maw capable of swallowing Toriko whole.

"Mr. Toriko, be careful!" Komatsu called out in warning.

Qin Zhou already knew the outcome; from his previous sparring with Toriko, he knew Toriko's approximate strength range.

It's perfectly capable of dealing with level 30 or 40 beasts. Dealing with a level 8 Kaera Crocodile is a piece of cake; there's absolutely no need to worry.

"...Thank you for all the ingredients in this world."

"I'm gonna start now."

Toriko clasped his hands together, his breathing very peaceful, and offered a prayer to the food.

Toriko's left hand, like a fork, easily pierced through the thick scales of the Kaera Crocodile, causing the Kaera Crocodile's eyes to bulge out in pain.

With another loud shout, Toriko's right hand, like an incredibly sharp knife, slashed down towards the neck of the giant crocodile, Kaera.

The Kayla crocodile's head was cleanly and decisively severed, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Its eyeballs quickly turned white, and it lost its life.

"Evil, evil spirit..."

Komatsu stammered, terrified by the red demon behind Toriko, and wet himself.

Toriko clashed his hands together, producing another metallic clanging sound, and slowly withdrew his aura, pressing his hands together in prayer.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

"You'll often encounter situations like this when you're with Toriko," Qin Zhou said earnestly.

They were so scared they peed their pants; their mental fortitude needs improvement.

“I have a job.”

Komatsu scratched his head, but he was indeed somewhat tempted. It would be interesting to see the original appearance of various ingredients with Mr. Toriko.

"Matsu, it's up to you now." Toriko turned around and said impatiently.

“Hey, Mr. Toriko…your drool,” Komatsu complained.

Komatsu was shocked by the way Torana's drool flowed down like a waterfall. Was this even human?

"Mr. Toriko, please leave me 500 kg of meat first. I need it to complete the task."

“Okay, no problem.” Toriko nodded, cut off a piece, and put it aside.

The conditions are basic, so we can only grill it, but with Xiaosong's skills and the seasonings, the taste will definitely be good.

The cut crocodile meat sizzled and dripped oil on the fire, emitting an extremely tempting aroma, and Toriko's mouth never stopped watering.

"It smells so good! The oil is glistening like snowflakes." Toriko picked up a piece and swallowed hard just admiring its tempting color.

"I'm gonna start now."

Toriko took a bite of a palm-sized piece of meat, and with each chew, he let out a shout: "So~~~ delicious!"

Since the portion intended for the banquet had already been reserved, Komatsu began to enjoy it without worry, much like Toriko, both displaying happy expressions.

Qin Zhou grabbed a piece of roasted meat and swallowed it whole. He chewed it in his mouth, and the sweet oil melted in his mouth. It was also very chewy and springy, leaving a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth.

The 300-year-old Kayla crocodile has a very rich and mellow flavor after years of aging.

【Star Forger】: "The meat steak of the giant crocodile, Kayla, is still warm."

Qin Zhou sent a piece of pork chop to each of the three group members, saying that good food should be shared and that the group members should try it.

【Pink Fairy】: "This smells even better than beef!"

Alicia received the pork chop and licked her lips. She was a little troubled. Having gotten used to the delicious food Qin Zhou sent her, she felt that the food at the Fire Moth Cafeteria was a bit bland. Her palate had become too picky.

"Never mind, let's eat first." Alicia started tasting it, her blue eyes immediately sparkling. "It's so delicious, so good!"

[God of Justice]: "Wow, this is delicious, even better than poultry."

Both Fulina and Madara Uchiha were quite satisfied; they had never tasted such delicious ingredients before.

The entire Kayla crocodile was reduced to a skeleton, except for the piece left behind. Toriko, with his large belly, still felt unsatisfied and looked at the piece left for the gourmet hotel.

"Mr. Toriko, you can't eat this piece of meat!" Komatsu quickly stood in front of the meat to block it.

If they're all eaten up, we won't be able to explain ourselves later; the Kayla Crocodile is hard to find.

"This leech also came from the mouth of the giant crocodile Kaira. You can take this back with you; it might be useful." Toriko casually picked up a leech crawling on the ground, still wriggling disgustingly.

"That definitely won't work."

Komatsu stared wide-eyed, shaking his head vigorously. What the hell was this?

If he were to serve this disgusting thing on the dinner table, his career as a chef would be over.

Toriko didn't care about losing a few hundred kilograms, so he continued to lie there, while his stomach returned to its original size at a visible speed.

Xiaosong was stunned. What amazing elasticity! He ate so much and his stomach didn't burst. And the digestion speed was so fast.

"Qin Zhou, the Kayla Crocodile tastes pretty good, doesn't it? Do you want to add it to the menu?" Toriko asked.

"The taste is alright, but the Kayla Crocodile is still too ordinary. You probably wouldn't choose this, would you?" Qin Zhou sat there, eating just as much as Toriko, but his belly didn't bulge out at all.

Eating without this skill allows you to store a lot of energy, which is quite convenient, and you don't have to worry about bursting your stomach.

"Yes, although the Kaera Crocodile tastes good, it's just not quite right. With so many delicious ingredients available, we can't make a decision so hastily." Toriko laughed heartily and sat up.

"That's settled then. The dishes on my menu must be the kind of incredibly delicious ingredients that you won't forget after just one bite," Qin Zhou said.

"For example..."

Atoll became interested, seemingly having guessed Qin Zhou's future goals.

"I have to try the entire menu at Acacia and see if it's as delicious as they say. Beyond Earth, in the vast universe, there are plenty of culinary delights waiting for us." Qin Zhou looked up at the boundless starry sky, filled with anticipation.

The Earth in this world has expanded 659 times in size. Even Acacia might not be able to explore Earth, let alone the vast universe.

Toriko looked up and laughed, "The world beyond Earth is truly ambitious. It does pique my curiosity, though. How delicious must the food be on other planets?"

Qin Zhou smiled. The delicacies in outer space often cost tens of thousands of dollars. Even if the eight kings of the culinary world went out, they would probably have a hard time surviving.

If you want to venture out into the world, the most basic requirement is probably to eat the entire menu of Earth and unlock the power of the Gourmet Cell Demon. Otherwise, you should give up the idea; going out would just be suicide.

Chapter 13 The Disciples of Acacia

Sensing the disappearance of the giant crocodile Kayla's aura, the beasts that had been forced to flee to the outskirts of the archipelago gradually returned to their original territories.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Toriko."

Komatsu's small, brittle body couldn't lift the half-ton meat, so Toriko had to help.

Qin Zhou didn't help, because there was no need for it; it would be better to let Komatsu and Toriko strengthen their bond as best buddies.

Who would have thought that Toriko would marry Sani's sister in the finale? Although it was obvious to everyone that Rin had feelings for Toriko, Rin appeared far too few times.

"What a pity, we can't eat it."

Toriko said with a regretful expression, explaining that his sense of smell was extremely sensitive and developed, which allowed him to smell the unique aroma emanating from the meat of the giant crocodile, Kayla.

"Damn, you can't eat it," Xiaosong said helplessly.

Upon reaching the shore, Tomu waited in a small boat. Last night, after Toriko had enjoyed the giant crocodile Kaira, he had contacted Tomu to come and pick them up today.

"Toriko, I didn't expect you to capture the Kaera Crocodile so quickly. Do you have any spare parts?" Tomu asked.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tomo, everything except what the restaurant needs has been eaten." Komatsu shook his head.

Tomu showed an expression of astonishment; he knew Toriko had an enormous appetite.

"All right……"

"Next time you have good ingredients, don't forget to give me a share!"

The City of Food is a food court with a ten-star hotel and a daily foot traffic of over 2500 million people. It's a sea of ​​people where you have to walk shoulder to shoulder to get around.

Next to a magnificent castle stands a low, dilapidated bungalow, a stark contrast to the building next to it.

But anyone who has been there knows that this seemingly ordinary little house is many times more impressive than the castle next door.

After all, a mountain is not famous because of its height, but because of the immortals who dwell there.
